Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plug-and-socket connector element with a connector base body, a connector fitting part, and at least one plug contact.
  • Conventional plug-and-socket connector systems comprise two complementary connector elements.
  • One of the two connector elements is generally provided with plug contacts in the form of sockets, and the other connector element complementary therewith is provided with plug contacts in the form of pins.
  • plug-and-socket connector elements electric feed lines such as cables are connected to the plug contacts, for example via clamping screws which are arranged at the rear end of the plug contacts.
  • the rear end of a plug contact is the end facing away from the complementary connector element.
  • Such fitting parts are often provided with latch elements which are employed for various purposes.
  • the latch elements permit the coupling of the fitting part with the base body or of a first connector element with a complementary second connector element. It is also possible to couple by means of the latch elements one of the connector elements with a support rail for the connector system.
  • German Utility Model DE GM 93 11 457 describes plug-and-socket connector fitting parts which are connected with opposite faces of a connector element by means of screws.
  • the fitting parts each have a side wall extending in parallel to the faces of the connector element as well as a movable latch element in the form of a latch hook.
  • the latch hook is arranged at an outer end of a lever arm which is part of a two-arm lever.
  • the lever is pivotably coupled with the side wall via a web which extends radially outwards with respect to the plug-in direction of the connector element.
  • the latch hook is connected to the side wall of the fitting part via the lever arm and the web.
  • the object underlying the invention is to provide a plug-and-socket connector system which permits a simple connection of the electric feed lines, is easy to handle, and which, beyond that, ensures a protection and, in particular, a reliable electric insulation of the rear ends of the plug contacts.
  • a plug-and-socket connector element with a base body in which at least one plug contact is arranged, wherein the plug contact permits the insertion of an electric feed line in an axial direction from the rear end of the at least one plug contact.
  • the plug-and-socket connector element moreover comprises a fitting part which is movable with respect to the base body and can preferably be snapped onto the base body, the fitting part permitting a lateral access to the rear end of the at least one plug contact in a first latch position and, in a second latch position, laterally covers the plug contact at least partially.
  • the plug contact can, for example, be covered in the second latch position by a circumferential side wall or a side wall provided with openings.
  • the side wall can be made from an insulating material.
  • the fitting part is preferably brought from the first into the second latch position by an axial displacement or, alternatively, by a rotating movement.
  • the inventive connector element ensures a particularly simple connecting of the electric feed lines to the plug contacts in that the feed lines are inserted from the rear end of the plug contacts into same.

  • the lateral access to the at least one plug contact enables to secure the feed lines at the plug contacts, e.g. by means of clamping screws or soldering.
  • the fitting part is brought into the second latch position (work position) with respect to the base body. In the work position, the fitting part laterally covers the plug contacts at least partially so that the connection between each plug contact and feed line is protected, for example, against mechanical damage or an inadvertent disconnection.
  • At least the portion of the fitting part covering the rear end of the plug contacts consists of an insulating material such as plastic.
  • the base body can also consist of an insulating material.
  • the fitting part is in a latch position both in the assembly position and in the work position, it is ensured that the fitting part does not interfere with the assembly of the electric feed lines through an inadvertent displacement. It is further ensured that the fitting part in the work position reliably covers the one or more plug contacts.
  • the fitting part is designed in such a manner that it can optionally be brought from the assembly position into the work position and vice versa.
  • An inventive connector fitting part has a side wall and at least one latch element connected with the side wall, wherein the side wall of the fitting part comprises one or several expandable areas which are connected with one or more latch elements each. Due to the connection of the latch element with the movable expandable area of the side wall, a latching connection between the fitting part and another component (e.g. the base body) having a complementary latch element can be realized in an easy manner.
  • another component e.g. the base body
  • the latch element can be formed as one piece with the expandable area, i.e. can be integrated in the expandable area, or it can be arranged as a separate component on the expandable area.
  • the integration of the latch element via the expandable area into the side wall allows a reduction of the material costs compared to a fitting part at whose side wall a separate lever carrying the latch element is arranged by means of e.g. a web.
  • the expandable area preferably has resilient properties so that after an actuation, the latch element attempts to return into its initial position.
  • the expandable area itself so as to be resilient, it is also conceivable to provide separate resilient means which move the expandable area, and thus the latch element, after an actuation back into the initial position.
  • the expandability of the resilient or not resilient, expandable area is realized by one or several folds of the expandable area.
  • the expandable area can be designed similar to a bellows.
  • the latch element which is preferably surrounded at least on two sides or completely by the expandable area can be designed as a latch hook, a latch projection, or a latch recess. It is, for example, conceivable to design the latch element as a latch hook which, for the purpose of forming a latching connection, engages behind a corresponding latch projection or into a corresponding latch recess.
  • the latch element is preferably movable in a radial direction with respect to a longitudinal axis of the fitting part.
  • An actuation mechanism can be provided for the latch element, which, for example, actuates the latch element due to a pressure acting on the actuation mechanism.
  • the actuation mechanism comprises an actuation lever with a first lever arm, the latch element being connected with said first lever arm.
  • the first lever arm can be integrated at least almost completely in the expandable area. The lever arm is then part of the side wall of the fitting part.
